To quickly put Mask of Mists into perspective, it can sort of be described as a Skyrim-lite only with a stronger emphasis on collecting items to solve environmental puzzles. Taking the role of a mercenary, the player needs to play detective to find a missing mage, exploring an enclosed but vast world along the way….
Fight Crab (Switch) Review
Every once in a great while, a game comes along that provides an experience that is unmatched, making numerous memories along the way. A couple of my own examples involve seeing Mario’s face upon firing up Super Mario 64 on N64’s launch day or having that magical feeling of surprise and wonder during the entire…

Spinch is a psychedelic platformer created by artist Jesse Jacob. While not as difficult as other Meatboy-like platformers, Spinch is probably the most colorful game you’ll ever play. Our stream is embedded here:

Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time (Xbox One) Review
Despite feeling like a PS2-era title, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is as straightforward as they come but still features some button mashing, hack’n slash goodness. The simple gameplay keeps action at the forefront and plays well for a licensed property even though there isn’t too much meat on the bone. Presented as a direct…
Clumsy Rush (Xbox One) Review
Originally released in 2019 on Nintendo Switch, Clumsy Rush on Xbox One is pretty much the same game only with local four-player support instead of two and Achievements. The gimmick is the unique control scheme but that is also its downfall. One thing Clumsy Rush does exceeding well is provide a wondrous and highly entertaining…
VIDEOCAST – Giraffe and Annika (Xbox One)
Also released on PS4 and Switch, Giraffe and Annika is a laid back 3rd person Metroidvania style adventure game with rhythm elements in boss battles. As we start are stream, we are baffled at the lack of a jump feature and a way to defend ourselves the floating ghosts. But then the game opens up…

What makes this PS4 release unique is the free cross-buy from the PS3 version. Back in June 2018, Sony gave away Zombie Driver for free to PS+ subscribers. If you claimed this free game a couple years…
